Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine why sheltering under these desks is a poor tornado choice, we analyze the options. Tornado safety involves avoiding hazards like falling objects. The desks here have computers (or equipment) that could fall during a tornado, posing a risk. Other options: "desks are flimsy" is less specific to tornado hazards; "windows nearby" – the desks’ issue is about the desk’s contents, not just windows; "unsafe to check rolling chairs" is irrelevant to sheltering under the desk’s risk. So the key risk is the computer/equipment falling.

Answer:

The computer’s could fall
